Stephen's Tips
-
While the look of this makeover is airy, you can reverse the color scheme for a more cozy feel: Use darker shades on the upper walls and ceiling, and lighter tones on lower walls.
Arrange furniture to create an area intimate enough for one person or inviting for guests to sit around and chat.
Combine new and old collected items with small framed family photos for a more personal touch.
Combine dark tones (like a steamer trunk) with lighter tones (like the sofa shown at left) to bring contrast into the room.
